I don't think he is great, he just has a huge budget for all his movies. Which is easy when making popcorn movies. I do find them fun to watch. Michael Mann is the s#!+ though, his movies are all business.

All film makers, no matter how trashy or over the top their films are, have a certain responsibility to their audience. To not knowingly create a big pile of doo-doo, stick a wafer in it and sell it to kids as ice cream.
Thats what Bay does. His films are look like a big breasted girl in trailers, but when u watch it, and try to get ur fingers into her snatch, u realise its a mannequin stuffed with smelly beans. But by now its too late. U have already handed over your money to her pimp, and now u have ur **** up her ass, and ur balls are swollen with AIDS!!!
